Congratulations Keeley O'Shaughnessy
Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade
Training Provider: TAFE SA
Employer: BAE Systems Maritime Australia
School: Adelaide High School
Inspired by watching her grandfather at work as a welder, Keeley O’Shaughnessy is now pursuing her own career in engineering fabrication through a school-based apprenticeship with BAE Systems Maritime Australia.
A trades taster program at an early age also proved formative and Keeley chose a hands-on pathway that aligns with her strengths and passion for building and creating, rather than the classroom.
Through her training, Keeley has developed resilience, technical skills, confidence and a pride in her work, while balancing her studies and workplace commitments.
Keeley has overcome challenges and learnt to speak up in a traditionally male-dominated environment – demonstrating persistence, adaptability and a strong commitment to pushing herself outside of her comfort zone.
A natural leader and advocate for women in trades, Keeley is passionate about inspiring others to pursue vocational pathways and describes the feeling of working towards a shared goal as one of her favourite aspects of her apprenticeship.
